Pink And Blue Purse Cake
Darn Good CC with chocolate ganache filling and strawberry MMF. Accents on cake are MMF painted with pearl dust. Handle, nail polish and lipstick are made from gumpaste painted with pearl dust. The credit cards are made from chocolate candy bar mold. For the account number on the cards I used their birthdates. This was made for my DMIL and DGrandma. They love to shop!

Baby Face Cake With Pacifier
Credit for this design goes to MrsMom. She was kind enough to share her idea with me. This cake was fun to make and I loved how it came together. White cake with BC. 8 inch square bottom and 6 inch round (single layer). Decorations are fondant except for real pacifier. I added some extra details for the base cake and may have gone a little overboard, but they wanted something a little jazzy looking. TFL!

Birdhouse Cake
Lemon cake with lemon BC and lemon curd filling. Birds are fondant/gumpaste mix. Roof is graham crackers covered with fondant. Square base with carved and stacked birdhouse. I would have added flowers but this was for grandfather's birthday so didn't want to make it feminine. He loves birds and loved the cake!!

Anniversary Cake With California Raisins
White extended 2 layer cake 11X15 with BC icing for friend's 20th anniversary party. California raisins were used when husband proposed, so we integrated them into cake. Accents are fondant/gumpaste mixture. Numbers turned out a little big for the side, but overall I was pleased with it. There were also musical notes on the other three sides.

Pumpkin Cake With Turkey Popping Out
This cake makes me laugh out loud. I started out wanting to make a pumpkin with 2 bundt cake pans and had a disaster with one of them. So I vowed to salvage it somehow. This is what I came up with. It is a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Turkey accents are fondant (left over pieces from last couple cakes). Thank goodness this one was only for family!!!
